This involves sources, listeners and observers and is an interesting multi-tier model of linkage/communication
|
| 2 |
One can (in some cases) merge observer and listener but not the listener and source
|
| 3 |
Registration involves sending an object name -- termed the callback object -- from the listener to the source.
|
| 4 |
When event occurs, the source invokes a particular (event dependent) method of the callback object
|
| 5 |
Events can be distinguished by using different callback methods (demultiplexing) or by inspecting the argument of a more generic method.
|
| 6 |
Sources and Listeners use a "controlled syntax" but there are no special interfaces or methods for linkage of observers and listeners as usually(often) these are combined.
